In real life bears and tigers don’t share much habitat BUT where they do bears are preyed on by tigers, but primarily juveniles and younger.
Tigers are one of the most successful predators in the world and a Siberian tiger isn’t far off in size from a Grizzly with claws and fangs that match it. With a top speed nearly twice that of the bear the tiger outclasses it in every way except for weight (150ish pounds at max for both) and bite force, but they both can bite through each others bones and skull so that’s irrelevant. A tiger can smash a bears skull with a swipe and so can a bear smash a tigers.
In a fair fight the bear would win, but tiger vs bear wouldn’t be a fair fight.
I feel like “fair” in this instance involves the tiger not having stalked the bear for a day or two until it falls asleep and the tiger just chomps it.
But yes, the bear gets to choose first weapon OR if shields are allowed.

what would a fair fight look like does the bear get a sword?
